About Life in the Arctic north

Weigh-in Wednesday, week 1

The moment of truth was this morning. Would a week of holding back, not excessively, just cutting out the really unneccessary parts, show any result? As it turns out – yes. YES! I definitely got the kick-start I was hoping for as a boost to my motivation!

This first week the result was -2,4 kg (5 lbs) which goes to show how much “crap” my intestines were holding before (okay, and maybe just how much chocolate I normally eat). And before you say it, yes I realize this is not something I should expect any other week, I am an experienced Weight Watcher, so I know how it works. I’m still hoping for an average loss of 0,5 kg (1 lb) per week. But still – woohoo! Yay me! And I wasn’t even super healthy in the week past – I had five beers for crying out loud! That barely ever happens (and it really shouldn’t as I’m not allowed to drink that much in a week with my meds :()…

Oh well, I will carry on with my eyes set on June 1st – 5 kg to go – and I’m determined tomake it with a bit of help from my sturdy oatmeal breakfasts! Oh, and less beer.

@Jodi, that won’t be hard! It wasn’t that much of a body to start with… I will still have at least 40 lbs to get to a more flattering body, one that I once had. 20 years ago… 🙂 I’ll hop on the WW train once the baby is out and we’ve got the breast feeding working.

You go girl! I’m hoping for a major weigh loss with the baby arriving… seeing as I haven’t gained all that much and the whole baby package (kid, fluids, placenta and other icky things) should outweigh my weight gain!
